AMH's training log. Goal, 800+ Raw @100kg.

Freakin' awesome. As I looked at all your vids. I was a mix of bitter, jealous and completely blown away. Awesome strength. You show very well and I still haven't found any flaws. I'd give my left n*t to look like that. Look forward to more vids and hopefully some progress pics. Show us what you got man. Wanna see how freakin' huge, solid, thick and tight you can get. Thanks for the motivation.

Well, we have annual fitness tests which we must achieve...
1) 8 mile in two hours carrying a rifle and 15kg bergan (or 25kg depending on role)
2) 1.5 mile / 2.4 km run in 10:30, although it's frowned upon to scrape a pass, so you need to be 09:30 to 10:00 ideally.

As a senior (and ex PT Instructor) I'm left to my own training, so I'll usually just sit on a rower or something, maybe do the odd 100m sprint session to keep base fitness up. I don't believe in long distance running, it's bad for male hormones, bad for your knees/hips and should be left to women and calorie deficient types!

So my base fitness work can be done in work hours 1-3x a week, and then I do my own training on evenings and weekends.

Erm if this a genuine post and not a sugden rape, I'm presuming you mean 'lift like that' and not 'look like that'...

Don't think anyone would want to look like me mate, I'm a touch porky, not too tall, and would give a pitbull a run for it's money in a staring contest!

But thanks anyway haha....

v strong, will follow

4 rep warm up to working sets lol, I like it!

Haven't been on this forum overly long but the time I've spent here you have had some of the most interesting things to say regarding training and programming. Will be following closely and maybe dropping a few questions a long the way.

Good luck with the goals mate

Thank you mate, really appreciate the kind words.

Just a troll...

This mornings session:

Deadlift, no straps etc.

2 x 70kg
1 x 110kg
1 x 150kg

5 x 200kg
5 x 200kg
5 x 200kg
5 x 200kg
5 x 200kg

Struggled to differentiate between flu ache and gay ache. Training partner said my last set and rep was just as fast or faster than rest, so I'm putting the aches down to back end of this bug.

Cheers

Looking forward to seeing where this build up takes you

Great stuff mate, especially considering illness.

Cheers mate, hopefully will be cleared by weekend

More lube should sort that.

I liked the look of your programming from the training style thread, this is what I've morphed it into

Why? You are trying to increase two mutually exclusive attribute in the same taper, 8's and 10's...

If it's to do something that makes you feel good then by all means go for it, if it's to improve your main lifts then you'll struggle to while you are in and out of depleted ATP. You should slowly deplete it while negating the need to use it, hence the 4 week taper, smashing it every other session defeats the whole point of the routine.

Keep it simple, I don't understand the need to introduce complexity.

The front squats, for example, are so far behind my back squat that it serves more as technique reinforcement than anything else. The extra back work is to address push/press balance and my mongy shoulders.
I've always trained squat/press/pull in every session, its not a new stimulus I'll need to adapt to.
